一个如同中世纪人们所想象的平坦世界。究竟是谁创造了这样一颗星球？为了探个究竟，Kin Arad 别无选择：唯有出发寻找 Disque 的主宰，直奔世界中心——那是一座镶嵌在黑沙岛上的巨大铜制圆顶。——[Memento]

谁要是对这个问题心痒痒，我强烈推荐特里·普拉切特（Terry Pratchett）的小说《地层》（Strata）。
I highly recommend the novel Strata by Terry Pratchett, to anyone who is tickled by this question.
有趣、轻松、读起来很爽 === 特里·普拉切特（Terry Pratchett）。要是你专门想找科幻看，推荐《地层》（Strata）和《太阳的暗面》（The Dark Side of the Sun）。不过要是你还没读过“碟形世界”（Discworld）系列，那我简直太羡慕你了！我真愿意付出任何代价去重新体验初读普拉切特时的那种纯粹狂喜……
Fun, light-hearted and enjoyable === Terry Pratchett. Strata and the Dark Side of the Sun if you’re looking specifically for Sci-fi. But if you haven’t read the Diskworld series, I envy you! I’d give anything to re-live the sheer ecstasy of reading Pratchett for…
你要是喜欢这种调调，可能会喜欢特里·普拉切特的早期科幻作品《地层》（Strata），它在这个点子上大做文章（格局没那么狭隘），同时还极其风趣地恶搞了尼文的《环形世界》（Ringworld）和其他几部大部头。
If you enjoy that kind of thing then you might like Terry Pratchett's early SF work "Strata" that riffs heavily on this idea (on a less parochial scale) while also enjoyably sending up Niven's Ringworld and a few other tomes.
……另一种选择很惨淡：如果作家不能靠版税生活，那么唯一能在经济上立足的“艺术”势必就只剩下量产、大众营销的烂俗快餐。这前景太让人沮丧了。> 在我看来，特里·普拉切特的《地层》（Strata）显然脱胎于拉里·尼文的《环形世界》（Ringworld）。我觉得它不仅精彩、有趣、引人入胜，甚至超越了原作……但尽管如此，它依然属于衍生之作。我……
…alternative is bleak: if writers are not supported via royalties, then the only financially viable "art" will inevitably be mass-produced, mass-marketed pablum. That's a depressing prospect. > To me, Strata by Terry Pratchett is clearly derivative of Ringworld by Larry Niven. I'd say it's not just good, entertaining, interesting, but also that it's superior to the original… and yet, still derivative. I…
我一直觉得最靠谱的解释是特里·普拉切特在《地层》（Strata）里提出的：如果你要从头开始创造一颗行星（或宇宙）作为智慧物种的家园，融入一段逼真的历史是至关重要的，只有这样才能给该物种提供充足的历史背景……
I always thought the most plausible explanation is one developed Terry Pratchett in "Strata": If you are going to create a planet (or universe) from scratch to be the home of an intelligent species, including a realistic history is critical to give that species sufficient historical context…
……作家能够创作出优秀、有趣、耐人寻味、感人至深的作品。这是一种罕见的天赋，并不是什么衍生抄袭。我觉得我们对“衍生”（derivative）这个词的理解不太一样。在我看来，特里·普拉切特的《地层》（Strata）显然脱胎于拉里·尼文的《环形世界》（Ringworld）。我觉得它不仅精彩、有趣、引人入胜，甚至超越了原作……但尽管如此，它依然是衍生的。从……
…writers are capable of producing material that's good, entertaining, interesting, moving. That's a rare talent, and it's not derivative. I think we must be using the word "derivative" differently. To me, Strata by Terry Pratchett is clearly derivative of Ringworld by Larry Niven. I'd say it's not just good, entertaining, interesting, but also that it's superior to the original… and yet, still derivative. From…
